About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus by L. Frank Baum. Read by Kristin LeMoine. This story of Santa Claus veers away slightly from the traditional stories of his beginnings. L. Frank Baum creates a world of fantasy that surrounds Santa Claus’s life. Orphaned at an infant he is found by the nymph Necile, who convinces the great Ak to allow her to raise Claus for her own. As he grows older he meets his fellow humans, and sees the neglect of children. This sets him on the path to making toys and becoming the beloved Saint Nicholas we are familiar with today.
